The Upper Ordovician and Lower Silurian in West Chekiang

In the winter of 1933,the writer paid a visit to Yüchien district,~1W Chekiang.The city of Yiichien is surrounded by hills generally about300 meters above sea level.The Hangchcw-Huichow Highway~2 passesthrough its southern vicinity,extending in an east-west direction.Thehills in the vicinity of the city were all considered as formed of Lower

It had long been my wish for an opportunity to collect more MiddleDevonian plants in the Tiaomachien series in central Hunan.InDecember 1936,I was able to realize my plans.I was fortunate enough     

An Outline of the Geological Structure of the Western Hills of Peiping

As a pioneer worker in almost every phase of the Chinese geology,the late Dr. V. K. Ting was also a pioneer and enthusiastic worker inthe geology of the Western Hills. It was due to his noble effort andsupervision that the first systematic investigation of 1916 was carried out     

The Uplift of the Longmenshan Thrust Belt and Subsidence of the West Sichuan Foreland Basin

Based on fission track dating of apatite, and measurement of vitrinite reflectance of rock samples from the Longmenshan (Longmen Mountain)area and the West Sichuan foreland basin and computer modelling it is concluded that (l)the Songpan-Garze fold belt has uplifted at least by 3-4 km with an uplift rate of no less than 0.3-0.4 mm/a since 10 Ma B.P.; (2) the Longmenshan thrust nappe belt has uplifted at least by 5-6 km with an uplift rate of more than 0.5- 0.6 mm /a since 10 Ma B.P.; (3) the Longmenshan detachment belt has uplifted by 1 - 2 km at a rate of 0.016-0.032 mm/a since 60 Ma B.P.; (4) the West Sichuan foreland basin has uplifted by 1.7-3 km at a rate of 0.028-0.05 mm/a since 60 Ma B.P.; (5) the uplift rate of the area on the west side of the Beichuan-Yingxiu-Xiaoguanzi fault for the last 10 Ma is 40 times as much as that on its east side; (6) the uplifting of the the Songpan - Garze fold belt and the subsidence of the West Sichuan foreland basin 60 Ma ago exhibit a mirro-image correlation, i.e     

基于北斗/GNSS的中国-中南半岛地区大气水汽气候特征及同降水的相关分析

本文采用统一的处理模型和处理策略对中国-中南半岛地区地基北斗/GNSS测站2006—2016年历史观测数据进行高精度重处理和水汽反演,获得近10年的大气可降水含量（PWV）产品。基于北斗/GNSS PWV产品,研究了该地区大气水汽平均含量、年周期振幅和半年周期振幅等气候特征,发现这些特征主要受到了测站纬度、高程以及季风的影响。通过分析PWV同并址气象站降水观测的关联特性,揭示了该地区大气水汽含量同降水相关性随测站纬度减小而降低的特点（在云南相关系数可达0.8,在靠近赤道的泰国南部相关系数约为0.2）。此外,PWV和降水的距平值相关分析表明,相比于历史同期,大气水汽含量较高的月份在一定程度上对应着降水异常偏高,两者相关系数为0.2~0.4。     

Fossil Vertebrates from Kuangyuan, N. Szechuan, China

正 During the late spring of 1941, Messrs. M. N. Bien, T. H. Mi and the present writer were fortunate enough to discover several localities of vertebrate fossils. The geological condition will be reported in another paper' and need not be repeated there. Most of the fossils were derived from the hill

A Titanosaurian Sauropod Dinosaur with Opisthocoelous Caudal Vertebrae from the Early Late Cretaceous of Liaoning Province, China

We describe a new titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur, Borealosaurus wimani gen. et sp. nov., based on a distinctive mid-distal caudal vertebra from the early Late Cretaceous Sunjiawan Formation exposed in the Shuangmiao village of Beipiao in Liaoning, China. We provisionally refer an isolated tooth crown, a middle caudal vertebra, and a right humerus from the same locality and horizon to this taxon. Borealosaurus is distinguished from other sauropods in its possession of opisthocoelous mid-distal caudal vertebrae. The occurrence of opisthocoelous caudals in Borealosaurus and the Mongolian sauropod Opisthocoelicaudia raises the possibility that these taxa pertain to an as-yet unrecognized titanosaurian subclade endemic to the Cretaceous Asia.     

土壤的冷生构造及其对阿拉斯加土地利用的意义

Cryogenic structure (patterns made by ice inclusions) in seasonally frozen and permafrost-af-fected soils result from ice formation during freezing. Analysis of cryogenic structures in soils is essential to our understanding of the cryogenic processes in soils and to formulating land use management interpretations. When soils freeze, the freezing front moves downward and attracts water moving upward resulting in mainly horizontal lenticular ice formation. Platy and lenticular soil structures form between ice lenses in upper active layer. The reticular soil structure usually forms above the permafrost table caused by freeze-back of the permafrost. The upward freeze-back resulted in platy soil structure and the volume changes following the annual freeze-thaw cycle resulted in vertical cracks. The combined result is an ice-net formation with mineral soils embedded in the ice net. The upper permafrost layer that used to be a part of the active layer has an ice content exceeding 50% due to repeated freeze-thaw cycles over time. The mineral soils appear in blocks embedded in an ice matrix. The permafrost layer that never experienced the freeze-thaw cycle often consists of alternate layers of thin ice lens and frozen soils with extreme hard consistence and has relatively lower ice content than the ice-rich layer of the upper permafrost. Ice contents and thaw settling potentials associated with each cryogenic structure should be considered in engineering and land use interpretations.
